Month: November 2006

I’d like to thank all my friends, family, and those I don’t know, for having the balls to defend our nation in peace and war. May your efforts not be in vain, and may those of us who speak up give you hope over those who wish to degrade you. Hoorah!

Thank a Vet today guys. It’s by their blood that you have the right to speak your mind in this country.

Scorpio for this week:

“Talent hits a target no one else can hit,” said German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. “Genius hits a target no one else can see.” That could and should apply to you, Scorpio, at least during the month of November. I believe that you have a heightened ability to access special talents that have been partially dormant up till now. If you summon the gall to be almost crazily confident, you’ll soon be scoring bull’s-eyes on targets that no one else can see, let alone hit.

I’ve been noticing that this month, started on Samhuinn. While it’s nice, it’s also requiring me to maintain some level of impartiality. Normally, that’s not a problem, but it’s a little too close to home to not be a problem. Though, it is helping me with my fighting. The flip-side, is that I’m also in my focus spot, which means not much of a desire to talk to much of anyone. I’m still not really answering my phone, I’m on limited contact via IMs and mail. Strange. And my grove responsibilities are about to increase. I was given “the hint”.

I’m not sure how I feel about the events of today. But I will say, I have a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach, and it’s held up by the hope that the moderate Democrats will have more balls than their liberal counter-parts. So please moderates, don’t make me lump you in with the idiots I see in my cynical world. You’re my hope that this government isn’t run by a bunch of fools. Stand strong, and govern for the people who elected you, not for the party line that got you there.

EDIT: This is not a slam against the Republicans. I’m actually more Republican at the federal level than I am Democrat (I fall in line with what’s referred to as “Southern Democrats”). The fact is, I don’t like the Nancy Pelosi and Murtha Democrats, at all. I would like to see the Democratic party pull back from the edge, and return to its roots. My only hope is that the newly elected moderates of the party will have the balls to stand up to the Pelosi’s and Murtha’s of the party and redefine it, while not running us down the shitter, as I believe Pelosi’s latest declarations will do. With that said, I’m not holding my breath.

Another year…

So what did I learn? I’ve learned I can be pretty damned independent. I’ve learned I am capable of being more responsible. I’ve learned that I really don’t have to take shit from people who insist on shoveling it in my direction. I’ve also learned, that the sky is really the limit, and I have the ability to touch it and that it’s a pretty vast space. This last year has pretty much been about getting myself together and doing what I need to do, to move forward in this next year. It’s been about transitioning. And while this next year is as well, it’ll be more of a settling, than the actual steps necessary to get to the point. The final stages, if you will. I have the new responsibility for my little sister, and assisting in her finding out who she is to be. And that is my only oathbound responsibility to anyone other than myself.

As for actual hatch-day spoils….Well, my mum sent me a Barnes and Noble gift card, and as I wanted to share the wealth with my Scotsman, I think I’m going to put all of it towards a program for the next language I’m looking at learning. She also sent my Pink Floyd: Pulse and The Wall, as well as Meatloaf’s Greatest Hits. (I blame my brother for snagging the tapes that I could have added to my collection.) My Scotsman took me to a wonderful Italian dinner at Baronda, with a very hot waiter….grrrrrrrrrrrrr….and a night at the Ballet! We went to see Giselle and the Atlanta Ballet did a wonderful production, and now I know why they’re faltering on their funding. The place was far from packed, except maybe the first 4 rows. But their talant is amazing, nonetheless. Alas, as much as I loved noticing how often I was pointing my toes during the performance, the best present was the one I gave myself. The sky. I dove out of a perfectly good airplane, with a wonderful instructor attached to me, who was determined to change my perspective. Little did he know, my perspective was already there, it just needed proof. Can’t say I’m scared of falling anymore, though, I probably still am to an extent. I can’t even begin to describe the amount of joy it gave me, but hopefully my smile can speak for itself. Next stop, the bottom of the ocean. Me’s a happy freak right now. And it started off with a wonderful wish from my Baby. I need to come up with a better nickname for him….prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Scorpio for this week:

“Dear Mr. Sensitive Astrologer: Let’s get one thing straight. I don’t want peace of mind! So stop trying to talk me into going after it! It’s impossible to have it on this earth. Got that? And another thing. I don’t care about your time-consuming emotional resolution stuff! I’m not interested in chasing after the unrealistic goal of being a nice person. I just want pure, raw, naked success–the kind of glory that makes me feel really proud of my powerful effect on people. That’s it! So shape up and start giving me what I want in your little horrorscopes. -Truth-Telling Scorpio.” Dear Truthy: I love to help my readers achieve glory that makes them feel proud of their powerful effect on the world. But in my opinion the best way to accomplish that is by cultivating peace of mind, emotional resolution, and kindness. By the way, it’s now an excellent time to make great progress in this work.

Does this mean I have to be nice to my ex-boss? I’m fucked. Now, if it involves everyone else, I agree.
